Geroia is a land located beyond Calradia.
Descripion[]
Almost nothing is known of the region. In Warband, several companions claim Geroia as their homeland.
Georgraphy[]
Geroia seems to be located to the east of Calradia, as, according to Lezalit, it is "over the hills". This is also confirmed by Marnid, who claims to have been travelling from there through Khergit lands when he was robbed. Geroia also seems to have access to the sea, as ransom brokers in Bannerlord state that some of the prisoners that fail to get ransomed will be sold there as galley slaves.
Politics[]
Geroia seems to be a land consisting of several polities, known collectively as the "republics of Geroia", at least during the time of Bannerlord. It is unclear how these republics function, but it seems that the merchant class thrives there, and at least one of the republics has a Count. Lezalit - the second son of the apparently well-known Count of Geroia - claims that only the firstborn of Geroian nobles inherit their father's wealth, whereas all other children are left with nothing. It also seems that Geroia is, in general, a peaceful land, as, according to Lezalit, noble children without inheritance have few opportunities of obtaining fiefs. Another point to suggest peacefulness is the fact that Artimenner - a siege engineer - chose to travel to Calradia in search of work.

Trivia[]
Geroia was first mentioned in Mount&Blade v0.202 - AKA Warrider - as a location beyond the game's southeastern borders, as per Marnid's backstory. In Warband, the world map was expanded and slightly changed. If one were to compare Calradia to real-life Europe, Calradia would now be the equivalent of Western and Central Europe, suggesting that Geroia is somewhere father east, beyond Khergit lands. In Bannerlord, the map of Calradia was again expanded, now stretching from Western Europe to Central Asia - if made equivalent to Eurasia - yet Geroia is still nowhere to be seen, which makes its location rather confusing.
